Explanation below:
Hey guys! So here is my author's copy of the 'I'm Not That Girl' scene! In these copies, I draft out how I would want the musical scene to look before I start writing everything. Usually, I'm able to fit my actions in with the song on the document with only small squeezes. Because of this, I usually don't have to upload my original viewpoint. However, the last scene was simple and solo. It didn't have much movement going on (as it took place in Taylor's office), and it didn't leave a bunch of room for me to explain what Taylor was doing as well as keep the descriptions in time with the tune. So, here is my original 'MV' copy that I play with the music!
(Descriptive Version)
Hands touch, (Click) eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat (Click)
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl...
He could be that boy (A light shrug at the thought)
But I'm not that girl (Close laptop/get up)
Don't dream too far (Walk around desk)
Don't lose sight of, who you are (Adjust blazer in the mirror behind the door)
Don't remember that rush of joy (Small smile, arms crossed in a slight hug)
He could be that boy (Look outside at ex, he's pushing Shaylah on a swing)
I'm not that girl (observe Shaylah)
(Flashbacks. A gleeful, younger Taylor is being pushed on a park swing by a grinning Chad)
Every so often we long to steal (Switch scenes, same situation of the swing, just switched girls)
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel (Taylor looks behind, feeling an absence. Chad is away on his phone)
When reality sets back in (Sad smile, as Taylor continues to swing)
(Back to the present)
Blithe smile, lithe limb (Shaylah gracefully gets up from the swing)
She who's winsome, she wins him (She almost trips with a misstep, but a concerned Chad grabs her by her arms in time. She laughs)
Gold hair with a gentle curl (Charming smile from Shaylah, Chad wraps her in a hug)
That's the girl he chose⦠(She looks up at him and he looks back at her for a moment)
And heaven knows (They kiss, Taylor looks away)((A/N: Gosh that's awkward. RIP Taylor.))
I'm not that girl (Walks away from the window, goes to sit back down at her desk)
Don't wish (Lightly clench hands, eyes close) don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart (Opens eyes gently *can you do that gently?* and opens laptop again)
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl (Types password, it unlocks)
There's a girl I know (Picture comes up again, just of Shay this time)
He loves her so (weak smile)
(Close eyes, take a breath)
I'm not (pause)
that girl (Upload, shortly after, the couple comes back in for the event below*)
So that was that! I hope that helped somewhat. It was still small, and simple, but at least there weren't so many (if any) dialogue interruptions. Oh! By the way:
*I cut off 'the event below' for you guys, because that is a surprise. Fingers crossed that I can make this a triple upload tonight~
